When Qin Jin went upstairs, Ye Zi propped up her chin in thought for a while, before slowly and hesitantly taking a seat next to Shen Cheng.
She cupped a hand over her mouth, cautiously lowering her voice: "Beauty, does Brother Yu often want to, you know, with you?"
As she spoke, she pouted in the direction of the study upstairs.
Shen Cheng was taken aback, "What?"
Ye Zi didn’t know how to explain, so she could only hint with, "You know, that..."
Seeing her cheeks turn red, Shen Cheng finally understood but still pretended not to get it, teasing her: "Which ’that’?"
Ye Zi, both embarrassed and anxious, tugged at her hand, coquettishly protesting: "Beauty!"
Shen Cheng finally got serious, "Why are you asking about this?"
Ye Zi’s face turned as red as a ripe peach, awkwardly stammering: "I, well, with him, in three months..."
Shen Cheng’s blunt question made Ye Zi even more embarrassed, and she nodded, "What... what should I do?"
Shen Cheng tapped her fingers lightly on the table rhythmically: "Do you want to?"
Ye Zi frantically replied: "I don’t know..."
"If you love him, then go for it." After all, these things naturally fall into place.
Ye Zi nodded in a semi-comprehending manner.
While they were talking, Shi Yu and Qin Jin came downstairs one after the other.
Ye Zi immediately went back to her seat neatly upon seeing them.
Shen Cheng sighed; it was so obvious, it was like they had been up to no good.
However, the two men had just finished their talk and didn’t pay attention to what was happening here.
Shi Yu walked straight towards Shen Cheng and, without a word, he stooped and scooped her into his arms.
As he turned around, he said to Qin Jin, "It’s getting late."
This was a blatant act of sending someone away!
Young Master Qin nonchalantly sat down at the table: "No rush, no hurry." He then unapologetically ordered the servants, "The dishes have gone cold, serve them again, I’m going to eat my fill before I leave."
Shi Yu, without turning his head back, replied: "As you wish."
Then he strode up the stairs to the bedroom, slamming the door shut behind him.
Shen Cheng frowned, "It’s still early now..."
Shi Yu chuckled low, "The fire you started, hm?"
Hearing the door bang shut, Qin Jin turned to look at Ye Zi: "When will we be like that?"
Ye Zi, still lost in her thoughts about what Shen Cheng had said, didn’t respond to him.
Qin Jin dominantly pulled her into his arms, planting a kiss on her lips, discontentedly saying, "I’m talking to you."
"Ah?" Ye Zi hurriedly snapped back to reality, "What did you say?"
Young Master Qin ended the conversation with a punishing kiss.
In the room upstairs, Shi Yu and Shen Cheng were also entwined, kissing intensely.
Finally finding a moment to breath, Shen Cheng gasped twice, trying to change the subject: "You just left them downstairs?"
The air Shi Yu exuded was too dangerous, "Are you suggesting..."
His voice trailed off as he lifted his head from her collarbone, "You want them to come in and watch?"
Shen Cheng’s eyebrows furrowed, and she raised her hand to pull at his clothes.
But Shi Yu swiftly clasped her hand in place.
He lowered his head and kissed her again, resuming their entanglement before burying his head into her chest: "Let’s go to sleep."
After Shen Cheng fell asleep, he got up and went to the study.
In the dimly lit room, he lit a cigarette. The glowing ember brightened and dimmed, flickering in the night.
His large hand unconsciously tightened, crushing the cigarette ember between his fingertips.
Just then, the door to the study was gently pushed open.
Wearing her pajamas, Shen Cheng, with sleepy eyes, walked in from the outside.
